I really dig Lil Tracy’s performance on this song I have always been a fan of his singing. I could totally see Jeezy rapping on this instrumental back in 2007. This song kinda reminds me of the mid-2000s melodic trap, like the kind of stuff Jeezy used to make. I guess it is just another example of how diverse of a producer he is. ![]() The next track, ‘Ratchets,’ features the Goth Boi Clique artist Lil Tracy and Diplo this kind of surprises me, because I have to say this does not sound like a Diplo type of instrumental at all. I am not really into that notion, and I wish the beat and melody for this one had been fleshed out more because it just feels incomplete to me. I have a feeling that this song was not close to being finished when Peep was alive and they threw in the Rich the Kid feature after he died to give the album more trap appeal. I mean the song is hard as hell and Peep’s performance is very good, but this song is too much like a proto-typical trap track with a lazy guitar riff inserted for the melody. I am sure a lot of people really dig the next song, which is called ‘Aquafina’ and features Rich the Kid, but this one is not really my cup of tea. This song also does a great job of showing off how talented Peep was at this emo-trap thing he was able to blend emo-style singing with rapping so well that it is like he is sitting directly in between emo-rock and trap music. My favorite thing about this track is the hard-ass guitar riff that drives the melody throughout the song. This song is emotional and gritty and aggressive and in your face and I really dig it Peep was calling out all of the posers that lie and say they are like him to get with girls when they are not like him. Why the fuck you lyin’ in the streets? Why the fuck you lyin’ to me? Why the fuck you lyin’ to her? You couldn’t even buy her the purse…Įverybody’s Everything gets off to a pretty awesome start with the track ‘Liar,’ which is the type of quintessential guitar-driven emo-trap banger that Lil Peep was known for. ![]() With all of that being said, here are my thoughts on Lil Peep’s new posthumous album, Everybody’s Everything. One thing I really dislike is when post-humous albums have random features on them of popular artists who did not actually know the person who passed away that just feels so disrespectful to the deceased artist and should just not be done. I think it is cool that they did not really include any features from random artists that he has not worked with in the past I honestly would not be surprised if every feature on this record was actually recorded while Peep was still alive(besides that Rich the Kid one), because they are all so genuine and it feels that way. Everybody’s Everything does an excellent job at showcasing all of his talents it is a bit rough and sort of seems like a hodgepodge that was randomly thrown together, but Peep’s talent shines through his in a way that touches the soul. I am glad that I finally got into Lil Peep, though, because that dude was in a different lane from everyone else making hip hop sonically and lyrically. I do not know why I never really gave him a chance before I did I mean I have known who he is for years and I knew how popular he was, but for some reason, I just never actually checked him out. ![]() This is a total shame on my part because I would have loved to enjoy the music with his passionate fans when it was actually coming out. I am sort of embarrassed to admit this considering how big of a music geek I am, I but I really only started listening to Lil Peep near the end of his life, and I did not really get into his music as I should have until after he was already gone. ![]() But knowing Peep, this music probably would have come out in some way or another if he was still with us today, whether apart of mixtapes or an album also, Lil Peep is still a very relevant name in the hip hop community today which makes this record relevant to the industry as well, so I would be doing myself and other hip hop lovers a disservice by ignoring this one. It has always felt weird to me writing or talking about any post-humous album I mean the when the artist was not alive to have any input about the final cuts of every song or the order in which they are placed in the album, it does not seem fair to me to sit here and say that I did not like something about it if that is the case. I have to be honest with ya’ll, I really did not know if I was actually going to write about this record.
